Crossplay

Even the most popular MMO titles have yet to explore crossplay features. This is generally due to the amount of server load each of them is burdened with, solely because they have been around for a long time. This makes the addition of crossplay quite tricky.

However, with Aeternum, New World players can engage in cross-platform gaming and party up to share their experiences with their friends.

How to enable crossplay?

Enabling crossplay features in New World is quite straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to enable this feature:

1. Launch the game and log in using your credentials
2. Hop into a server of your choice.
3. Now, enter the game menu.
4. Here, click on Socials. Scroll down until you find an option for "Crossplay"
5. Toggle this feature "On" to enable it.

Upon following these steps, you can successfully play with your friends from different platforms.

New World Aeternum is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. With the crossplay feature enabled, you can engage, interact, and group up with your friends on different platforms, and head into missions and expeditions together.

It provides you access to co-op arenas and a plethora of other features in the game. This little addition has improved the social aspect of New World tenfold.

Cross-save

Unfortunately, despite providing players access to crossplay gaming, New World does not have any cross-save potential. Once you create a character on a certain platform, that character will only be accessible through that platform.

For example, if you have made a character on PlayStation 5, you cannot log in and access the character through PC, or Xbox Series X|S.
